Less is More Week 282

We have some wonderful news along with the new challenge at Less is More this week. First the challenge details, and for our Recipe challenge and we would like you to...

Use a Stencil

Now for the news...

We have a fabulous new LIMette joining the Design Team. And who better than Esther?! Esther plays along every week and the support she gives to her fellow participants is amazing. I think you'll agree that she will fit in just perfectly with our great little team. Welcome, Esther! x

Now onto my cards for this week...

I recently purchased a stencil featuring different sizes of stars so decided to do a little layered blending with Distress Inks to create this one layer card. A bit of masking off areas of the stencil and shifting it around was all that was required before stamping the sentiment in black and adding some starry bling.

On some teal green cardstock I used an oval aperture cut from a scrap of cardstock as a mask and stencilled some translucent embossing paste through a striped stencil. Next I stamped the flowers onto some clear vellum and heat embossed in white before adding some accents with a white pencil on the reverse. The sentiment was also heat embossed in white and the flowers adhered over the oval detail before adhering the panel to the card base on 3D foam. I'm a little disappointed that I've lost some of the pencil detail on the bloom, I couldn't find my thick vellum so this was very thin and the glue was much more visible. Oh well, you get the idea!

Gosh! Those are two stunners Anita! That delicate blending on your first card is terrific and such a great idea. Then I saw the even more delicate clear embossing paste through the stencil teamed with that gorgeous flower on your second card and I started swooning. Fantastic! Have a great week teamie.Sharon xx

Thanks for the lovely welcome Anita! Fab idea to layer the stars over each other - it creates so much interest where they overlap and do new colours. Love it! The second card looks stunning and I love how you stencilled through a mask to get that gorgeous background for the flower x

Two beautiful creations, wonderful designs, and especially love your floral card with the clear embossing paste and vellum. So happy you shared your creativity with us at Penny Black and More this month!
